## ServiceLevel tiers
### Live driver-side mapping (current)
### Health-aware tiering (`ServiceLevelCalculator` — live path)
`OpcUaPublishActor.HandleRedundancyStateChanged` maps the local node's role
(from the `RedundancyStateChanged` snapshot) to a ServiceLevel byte and forwards
it through `IServiceLevelPublisher` to the SDK's `Server.ServiceLevel` Variable:
`ServiceLevelCalculator.Compute(NodeHealthInputs)` is the live publish path.
`OpcUaPublishActor` calls it on every `HealthTick` (~5 s) and on each
`RedundancyStateChanged` snapshot, then forwards the result through
`IServiceLevelPublisher` to the SDK's `Server.ServiceLevel` Variable.
| Local role | Byte |
The four inputs are sourced locally per driver node:
| Input | Source |
|---|---|
| `Primary` and `driver` role-leader | 240 |
| `Primary` (not role-leader) | 200 |
| `Secondary` | 100 |
| `Detached` (no `driver` role) | 0 |
| `MemberState` | Local `SelfMember.Status` from the Akka cluster (Up / Joining / Leaving / …). |
| `DbReachable` | Local `DbHealthProbeActor``OpcUaPublishActor` Asks it on each `HealthTick`; an Ask timeout is treated as `Reachable=false`. |
| `OpcUaProbeOk` | Result of a peer probing THIS node's OPC UA endpoint: `PeerProbeSupervisor` spawns one `PeerOpcUaProbeActor` per OTHER driver-role peer; each probe publishes `OpcUaProbeResult(probed-node, ok)` on the `redundancy-state` topic; the publish actor consumes only results whose target is itself. Freshness-debounced: absent or stale (>30 s) → `true` (benefit of the doubt — single-node clusters and a departed peer never demote); only an actively-observed RECENT `false` demotes. |
| `Stale` (derived) | `!DbReachable \|\| (now lastDbHealth.AsOfUtc) > 30 s \|\| (now snapshotEntry.AsOfUtc) > 30 s`. |
| `IsDriverRoleLeader` | The local node's entry in the `RedundancyStateChanged` snapshot from `RedundancyStateActor`. |
The resulting truth table (all tiers are now reachable at runtime):
| Tier | Byte | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Down / Detached | 0 | Member status is not `Up` or `Joining` (leaving, removed, exiting), OR node has no `driver` role (Detached). Published immediately — a starting or detached node never leaves the SDK default 255. |
| Critically degraded | 100 | ConfigDb unreachable AND data is stale. |
| Stale | 200 | Data stale but ConfigDb reachable. |
| Healthy follower | 240 | DB reachable + OPC UA probe ok + not stale + not role-leader. |
| Healthy leader | 250 | Same as healthy follower + this node is the `driver` role-leader (+10 bonus). |
> **Secondary 100 → 240 (behavior change).** Previously a healthy Secondary
> published 100 (coarse role-only mapping). It now publishes **240** — both
> nodes sit at 240/250 under healthy conditions, with the leader still preferred
> by the +10 bonus. Clients with the standard "pick highest ServiceLevel"
> heuristic continue to prefer the primary.
#### Backward-compatible fallback (legacy seam)
A node with no `DbHealthStatus` wired (e.g. early bootstrap window before the
first `DbHealthProbeActor` reply) falls back to the old role-only mapping:
Primary-leader → 240, Primary → 200, Secondary → 100, Detached → 0. Once the
first `DbHealthStatus` arrives the calculator takes over. The first computed
ServiceLevel (even 0) is always published so no node lingers at the SDK default
255.
Roles come from `RedundancyStateActor.BuildSnapshot`: a node with the `driver`
role is `Primary` when it holds the `driver` role-leader lease, otherwise
`Secondary`; a node without the `driver` role is `Detached`.
### Full health-aware tiering (`ServiceLevelCalculator`)
`ServiceLevelCalculator.Compute(NodeHealthInputs)` is the fuller, DB/probe-aware
calculation. It is unit-tested but **not yet on the live publish path** — the
driver-side mapping above is what actually drives the SDK today.
| Tier | Byte | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Down | 0 | Member status is not `Up` or `Joining` (leaving, removed, exiting). |
| Critically degraded | 100 | ConfigDb unreachable AND data is stale. |
| Stale | 200 | Data stale but ConfigDb reachable. |
| Healthy follower | 240 | DB ok + OPC UA probe ok + not stale. |
| Healthy leader | 250 | Healthy follower (240) + a `+10` bonus when this node is the `driver` role-leader. |
Either way, clients with the standard redundancy heuristic ("pick the highest
ServiceLevel") prefer the `driver` role-leader and fall back to followers on its
degradation.

Today only cluster topology drives the published ServiceLevel.
`PeerOpcUaProbeActor` and `DbHealthProbeActor` also run per-node — the peer probe
publishes `OpcUaProbeResult` onto the `redundancy-state` topic and the DB probe
backs the health endpoint — but their outputs are not yet consumed by
`RedundancyStateActor` or folded into the published byte. They are the inputs the
fuller `ServiceLevelCalculator` truth table is designed to use once that path goes
live.
Both `DbHealthProbeActor` and `PeerOpcUaProbeActor` feed the live publish path.
The peer probe publishes `OpcUaProbeResult` on the `redundancy-state` topic;
`OpcUaPublishActor` consumes only results whose target is itself and applies
freshness-debouncing before passing them to the calculator. `DbHealthProbeActor`
is queried directly via Ask on each `HealthTick`.
The admin singleton is the cluster's only `RedundancyStateActor`. If the admin leader fails over, the new admin node spins up its replacement, re-subscribes to cluster events, and publishes a fresh snapshot from the current `Cluster.State`. There is no DB-persisted state to recover.

> **`RedundancyStateActor` NodeId consistency (fixed).** `RedundancyStateActor` now keys each node's `NodeRedundancyState` entry by the canonical `host:port` node id (via a `ToNodeId(Address)` helper mirroring `ClusterRoleInfo.ToNodeId`). Previously it keyed by `member.Address.Host` (host-only, e.g. `central-2`); since every subscriber matches by the canonical `host:port` form, the mismatch silently meant no node ever matched its own entry — all nodes stayed at the default ServiceLevel 255 and never learned their role. This fix makes `RedundancyStateActor` consistent with the stated contract above. Additionally, `RedundancyStateActor` now **re-publishes the current snapshot on a periodic heartbeat (default 10 s)** so any node that subscribes after the last topology-change publish converges within the interval (DistributedPubSub does not replay to late subscribers).
The `ClusterNode.ServiceLevelBase` column still exists and is editable in the Admin UI (NodeEdit / Cluster Redundancy pages), but it no longer drives the runtime ServiceLevel — that value is computed from cluster role/health and published per the mapping above, independent of this stored preference.
